To mark the occasion of the 2026 World Cup, Casa Optima is getting ready to enter the field with two new flavours by MEC3 and Pernigotti Maestri Gelatieri Italiani, and with the themed decorations inspired by the creativity of Modecor, to accompany fans during the matches and the summer conviviality.
With the arrival of summer and the excitement of the World Cup, artisanal gelato takes centre stage in a season dedicated to flavour and sporting passion. At Casa Optima, new creations are born, inspired by the flavours of the countries hosting the tournament: Original flavours, carefully selected ingredients and theme decorations designed to accompany fans and enthusiasts during matches and moments of summer conviviality.
From tropical flavours to surprising reinterpretations of iconic desserts, paired with limited-edition merchandise and decorations to transform the sales point into a stadium-style venue, the new proposals from MEC3, Pernigotti Maestri Gelatieri Italiani and Modecor, are certain to unite all the fans!
A Summer Edition that brings international colours, fragrances and vibes to the showcases, invites the public to experience the World Cup not only in front of the screen, but also through an original and immersive sensory experience.
MEC3’s ‘Dream Cup’ is a unique experience that combines a passion for sport with the freshness of fruit, creating a summery, exotic, and surprising treat.
Dream Cup Paste blends the exotic sweetness of Papaya, the symbol of tropical fruit, with the intense and slightly tart notes of Passion Fruit, resulting in a rich, embracing flavour full of character. The Dream Cup Variegate enhances the delicacy of Guava and the fruity intensity of Cranberry, enriched with a light touch of Lime and characterized by a bright, eye- catching and vibrant red colour that immediately catches the attention. The result is a balanced combination offering a harmonious contrast between sweet and tart. And to make evenings even more convivial, it can also be served as a semifreddo. Gelato makers who choose this flavour and purchase two Kits will receive an exclusive gift of merchandise: 2 t-shirts, two caps and 3 window stickers (in three different languages), all in theme ‘Dream Cup!’.
For customers with a traditional palate who are also curious about the latest trends, Pernigotti Maestri Gelatieri Italiani presents the 2026 Champions Kit, the ideal choice for the summer showcase: practical, versatile, and capable of combining freshness with creativity.
The star of the show is a delicious lemon and lime cheesecake, perfect for the warmer months. As well as the flavour, the visual impact playing on shades of yellow and green is striking, ideal for immediately catching the eye and enhancing the showcase.
The Kit includes the Lemon Cheesecake Base, designed to create delicate and creamy gelato, enriched with fresh notes of lemon. Ready to use, it simply requires the addition of three litres of cold milk. The Lime Variegate completes and enriches the flavour, adding a lively note and an immediate sensation of tropical freshness.
To make the offer even more engaging is the call to the world of football , in the true spirit of the World Cup: the Kit includes exclusive gadgets such as the 11 players of the Maestri Gelatieri FC, the desirable Cup, the branded dispenser and the digital football pitch, downloadable via QR code in multiple languages.
The perfect finishing touch for gelato, as well as cakes, semifreddo, biscuits and savoury dishes, are the beautiful decorations created for the occasion by Modecor, which has developed an internationally inspired design to complement a global event. The vestibiscotti in sugar, available in six assorted designs, are perfect for decorating biscuits, the wafer decoshapes, available in five versions, are ideal for both sweet and savoury single-portion treats.
To mark the 2026 World Cup , Casa Optima is taking to the field with a range of products designed to enhance the showcase from June the 11th to July the 19th ; however, these products are not linked exclusively to the event, but to the entire summer season, transforming this exclusive experience into a daily encounter with the taste and quality that characterizes the creations of the Group’s brands.
